In the city there is always so much light pollution.
Not to mention buildings.
Generally speaking, I’m not a great fan of sunset pix, but I took these on Tuesday, my last night in Co Derry, when Cousin joined me for a walk down the lane past the fields, looking towards the Sperrins.
I didn’t expect them to come out very well, but actually, I’m quite pleased.
I think the locals must think I’m nuts.
Cars go by me as I’m crouched over a patch of verge, camera in hand.
These flowers are just so delicate and pretty.
This is my third lot of pictures from my 2005 visit to Rathlin Island. There are more, but perhaps I should spare you.
Just looking at these photos make me want to go back. It is such a beautiful place. The café by the shore is friendly and the food is good too. I think there are just a couple of B&Bs. The day I took these photos, there was a music festival. It was the first time I heard the wonderful Julie Fowlis sing. She had arrived from Uist after a complicated journey.

I thought I had lost these pictures of Rathlin. I had them on a memory stick which stopped working. But the other day I found them on a CD. I was so pleased. There are more. This is just the first batch. I’d love to go there in June when the puffins are around.
